WINE DESCRIPTION
In 1924, Otto Suter buried two hundred bottles of wine at his winery’s heart. When the first bottle was unearthed decades later, it revealed the magic of patience. A single cork release brought an extraordinary aroma that filled the room and captured everyone’s attention. The wine’s flavor was so exquisite, so profound, that words seemed superfluous—until one attendee softly said “Lust,” summing up the experience perfectly. Today, Suter Lujuria Malbec continues this tradition of excellence. Grown in Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards, it delivers rich dark fruit, velvety tannins, and a long finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Suter Lujuria Malbec is an exquisite wine with the best qualities of the Malbec grape variety.With its deep purple color and intense aromas, this wine immediately captivates the senses. On the nose, you can expect to find a bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark chocolate, accompanied by hints of vanilla and spice.
On the palate, Suter Lujuria Malbec offers a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors of black fruits continue to shine, complemented by notes of tobacco, leather, and a touch of oak. The wine displays a remarkable depth and complexity, with a long and satisfying finish.
This Malbec is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate bold and robust red wines. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, as the wine's richness and intensity can stand up to the flavors of charred and savory dishes. It also complements hard cheeses and dark chocolate desserts.

ORIGINS
Winery: Suter
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
